HOSE-IPIPE NOZZLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 297,447, dated April 22, 1884.

Application filed December '7, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, JOHN E. PRUNTY, of the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Hose-Pipe Nozzles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in Letters Patent N 0. 245,559, granted to me on the 9th day of August, 1881, for a hose-pipe nozzle.

This invention consists in a peculiar construction of the nozzle to produce the lateral discharge described in said Letters Patent; and the object of the present invention is to strengthen, simplify, and cheapen the construction of the said nozzle, as will hereinafter appear.

In the drawings forming a part hereof, Figure I is an exterior view of the improved nozzle. Fig. II is a sectional view of the invention as seen from a different point. Fig. III is a transverse section taken on the dotted line w m, Fig. II.

In the said drawings, A is the hose-pip nozzle, having the usual shut-off cook or valve,

B. The lateral apertures in the hose-pipe nozzle are represented by a; and it will be seen that they are of a fixed width and connect with annular spaces 1), which are in communication With the interior of the nozzle by means of openings 0. by valves d and caps C, which latter are screwed on nozzles e. To efi'ect the lateral discharge, the caps are unscrewed,when water forces out the valves d, passes to the annular spaces 12, and thence through the lateral apertures a.

I claim Ahose-pipe nozzle having a shut-off valve orcock therein, an annular space around said nozzle, with a lateral aperture 'for the escape of water, and an opening to form the means of communication between the said space and the interior of the nozzle, combined with a valve'to control the said opening, substantially as specified.
